History

Founded in 1974 by Assad Al-Shamma, Bay Construction began by building homes, apartments, town homes, retail centers and school buildings in Traverse City and the surrounding region. In 1984, the company needed more room and moved to its current location on Eighth Street in downtown Traverse City.

During the 1980s, Bay Construction continued to expand by providing custom homes distinguished by quality construction and attention to detail. The company has also won recognition and awards for its careful historical renovation and restoration projects, small additions and select commercial projects.
